Marcus GTE Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hi all, my father passed away in December leaving behind his Lexus GS 300 which I need to do something with soon. It’s the last version that had the VVTI 2JZ-GE engine in it (uk car) The engine has less than 90,000 miles and was serviced regularly with no issues. I was wondering if it’s worth my while having the engine pulled if there is enough value in it. What’s the thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Mike2JZ Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Around £500. Maybe more if you chance it on eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Sincere condolences for your loss. Personally, I'd either keep the car or sell it as it is. As far as I can recall, the VVTi GE has weaker rods so may only interest people looking to pick up a block to rebuild. Happy to be corrected... Edited February 28, 2020 by Mo Reviews Spelling.

Noz Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Sad times. Sorry for your loss. I see some of those engines go for anywhere upto £700. It would be easier to sell the whole car of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Thanks for the kind words and info guys. The interior of the car is mint black leather but there are a couple of scuffs on the bodywork that might need attention before selling as a whole.

Marcus GTE Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Just sell the car complete, breaking cars is a pain in the ass That can be true. If I can find it a good home then it would be less hassle. These things run forever. If anyone is interested before I start a future for sale thread let me know.
